PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. • New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes launched a long home run off Cardinals starter Mike Leake with two outs in the first inning Sunday. But the Cardinals’ Jose Martinez answered _ and then some _ in the second inning against Matt Harvey.
Jhonny Peralta doubled to deep center to open the second and Matt Adams was hit in the right arm by a Harvey fastball. Martinez then drilled his third spring homer, well over the left-field wall and it was 3-1. Harvey, making his first appearance of the spring after undergoing thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July, was lifted with two outs in the second.
